Rock has always come to the rescue: in fact, it came to our rescue. In 1989, some of the greatest musicians of the world came together to raise money for Armenia's earthquake victims with an album: The Earthquake Album. Some amazing people were involved: Bryan Adams, Ritchie Blackmore (Deep Purple), Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden), Keith Emerson (Emerson Lake and Palmer), Ian Gillan (Deep Purple & Jesus Christ Superstar), David Gilmour (Pink Floyd!), John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin), Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath), Alex Lifeson (Rush), Jon Lord (Deep Purple & Whitesnake), Brian May (Queen), Adrian Smith (Iron Maiden), Paul Rodgers (Bad Company), Chris Squire (Yes) and Roger Taylor (Queen).
What you are watching above is Deep Purple's famous "Smoke on the Water," which is being performed by all of the above greats! That re-recorded single reached the British Top 40.
Enjoy the video!
